The IT companies are growing at a faster rate but at what cost?. The employees in the companies are given work loads that they can never finish normally within the deadline. So to as to finish the work the employees prefer to work overtime. This leads to affecting the health badly and also causes mental and physical stress. It is also said that they work more for the salary they are given. The life in IT company has also become a routine with very less recreation which they need desperately. So if you are working in an IT company then you got think of balancing your office work and your normal happy life.
Work stress takes a much larger toll on our health than we care to admit. For a handful of money, we give the corporations our health and years off of our lives. The current crisis with gasoline prices simply compounds the problems of the working American. And with oil predicted to reach $200 a barrel, it will only get worse, which is why the major corporations should begin to address the impact this is having on its workforce. Creative solutions or less profit taking could be in order. In my management book, Wingtips with Spurs, I devote an entire section to the effects of stress on our mental and physical health. Not from a medical point of view but rather from the view of a human resources professional of 30 years. Stress kills and will keep killing as long as we refuse to learn the coping tools. Michael L.
